awww Im sending a big hug 🤗- what a beautiful memory ❤️

So true. I didn't get to live my dream out with my wife but I did get to spend years with her. Before we get to live our end dream, she gets cancer.

My heart goes out to you. Loneliness is a horrible thing. (I know from experiece). Stay strong. ✊

You were very very lucky to have that experience though. It’ll live with you forever

I lost my beloved husband and I miss him So much. We didn't have a cabin but would have loved to.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.. OLD CITY WOMAN.. TURNED MOUNTAIN GRANNY OVER 30 YRS.. NEVER GO BACK.. PEACE OF GOD REST UPON THEE ALWAYS..🙏❤👑💥💥💥

My wife and I have been feeling this way for many years. If you have the means, do it. Best wishes from Colorado.

@@calvinlotz7595 thanks for responding.

Me too!

It's super nice for 3 days. But down time to relax in the woods is only nice when you are escaping a busy life. When cutting wood and staring at trees is your life you start looking for ways to spice it up. Grass is always greener on the other side. Thats why best way is to build a bridge and migrate to the other grass when ever your side is looking grey for a day or two.

@Queen Opp Yeah it really is!......

DUDE LIKE NO SHIT!! as I write this I am eating cupnoodles in my 134 ft2/ 12,4 m2 apartment. This just made my day!

YES, THAT

I told my kids that just today!

Bingo!

LAGERTHAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Yes! Exactly!!!

And then you got married and since then everything went down the drain.

Am I the only one to get what this sounds like?!? 😂A country boy can survive! Country folks can survive!

But how did you keep that old 4 wheel drive running?

@@christinegreen3974 definitely not. I thought the same

Hank, is that you?

I would wager if you gave it a chance and went to a cabin away from the 'world' you would be hooked. just sayin'

Profound. I imply emphasis on "need". Thank you.

the more you know, the less you need.

@@izzimichaels2892 One could also say that the more you need the less you know.

"The true meaning of wealth is not having more, but needing less." - Capt. John

@nidaliti I take the same approach to women. You will be a much wealthier man in many aspects of life (not just financial) by either having a woman who "needs" less or simply not having one at all:) Lower maintenance doesn't just apply to houses and cars.

Word

need a housemate

I’m able to retire so I bought a truck a few years ago. Now I work if and when I want. Need a little money I run a few loads. Never happier.

Careful. Its easy to wither away after retirement for that same reason. Having responsibilies keeps us going for many years after retirement. Not having anything to do causes our bodies to atrophy and betray us. "Use it or lose it" after all.

Make your dream a reality... just do it 🙏🏿✅💯

@@rustybrown1835 thats a good boy you got there Rusty Brown...mentor him...guide him...instil in him the difference between right and wrong as i know you will...he will miss you when you are gone...God bless you!

@Margie Herrera And one of these days we will end up having no choice but to live as this guy and your father did. They are the ones that people like me look up to. When I started watching The Walking dead it wasn't until the 2nd season that I had an a-ha moment. Most of us will starve and freeze to death because we don't know how to grow our own food, live off grid, and cure ourselves with natural items. Maybe it's meant to be that way to make us appreciate people like your father. So hats off to your father and people like them. I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

Cool....

@@twoplustwo07 zombies dont exist man!!! Calm down

@Margie Herrera My heart goes out to you Margie. I can relate to you, as that was the way I was raised as well. My mother got up early in the morning to build a fire to heat our water so we could bathe before going to school. She too, had demons to deal with as well. Now I feel I appreciate things more as an adult.

Margie Herrera you had a great dad

Wow

Buy your land asap and get at least 5 acres.

I wish i can make this too. Here in germany we have so many restrictions... I think even to fall a tree we have to ask the county or something else. You would not belive how many freedom we not have here...

@@tatlises51 Marxist Run Your Country ...sorry my friend

Thanks LOL

That must be a hella sharp axe :)

O-KAYYYY!!!💪🏿✅💯

@@primalfury2011 hella dry wood

The river bank is a great place for serious conversations. Whatever is said, the water will carry it away. And in the forest, any word can fall into the ground and germinate years later.

April Boy Lomenario me true, lots happening in life

Lol thought the same thing cant beat it

i AGREE 100%

April Boy Lomenario it be really nice a smaller than small cabin in the woods. A short cabin with a tiny fireplace and a small kitchen and small bathroom and when the winter comes, you get to sit by the window with tea and watch the snow during the darker hours of the day. Aaaaaaah. I imagine country life of much better than city life.

April Boy, I know right 🛀.

I literally said to myself, out loud mind you, "This guy knows how to handle that axe!"

Dave and Kyle from Kyle's cabin both can handle them access pretty darn good cutting all that wood

Axes darn typos

I totally agree,everthing else they tell you is bull.. sh.....

Absolutly. What most folks don't know is the simple life if very time consuming and not so simple. But.. Wonderful none the less

@@RichardJohnson-cg2ix it's simple in the fact that your existence is spent ensuring your very existence and enjoying the fact that you're alive. A life of work in self sufficiency is a life enjoyed and well spent. Not having to be anywhere by any certain time and not having to answer to anyone but yourself and your creator is how we were intended to be. We are the most complicated of mammals, unnecessarily.

Not really. He doesn't grow his own food

Totaly agree with you dude...okay..what a great Lifestyle

Same here. Also, we can be grateful and reflective without being religious, just a thought.

Thanks

I need hope. Jesus is hope. I can't help bowing my head in simple relief and gratefulnes.

Now THATS what being a Christian is all about! Letting your light shine! Not judging and preaching! ❤️✌🏻😊

@@davidb6606 Religion is totally separate from being a Christian! ❤️😊👏🏻👍 Christ was NOT FOR RELIGION AND certainly not judgement! ✌🏻 Amen! I agree!

Well said, and me too 🙏🏿💪🏿✌🏿💯

A lot of peoples dna must have gotten messed up then, because it seems many are more inclined to take and destroy.

I agree. Huge respect to you and Brooke. (I've never seen anyone put salt in their tea.... )

Thanks

the strumming guitar helps....

I agree. Live just outside D.C. in Virginia. Have a major international airport pretty much in my backyard. Always constant noise of suburbia. This seems like the perfect solution. No one around except for my dog, and fresh air.

RyanH_SD 82 What?

This video made me cringe.

His neighbor's sled dogs.

Or Bigfoot

It looks like an awful lot of work to me.

my 4 yr old grandson loves these video's. They are calming.

@Ronan Barthon 🤣🤣🤣 I have to try that for my cat!

I noticed that too

I would say that giving thanks to the Lord is THE most impressive thing that he did in my opinion. Because it seems he recognizes that all his freedom and abilities are God given. I believe that too few people realize that nowadays unfortunately.

PERIOD!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💯

Thanks

the paper plate was a real disappointment

@@michaeldreher3853 But he is just showing you his day, it isn't like the instagram fake vids, he uses paper and probably burns it in the fire when he is finished, probably if his family were with him he would use his enamel plates, but just for himself it made a simple clean up.. He did so well cooking his breakfast and chopping his wood, cut him some slack 😁 try and just enjoy a glimpse of his day, he isn't fake like so many, he doesn't pretend to be anything other than himself, he is just sharing his piece of getting back to nature.. Just try to watch and enjoy, like a switch off and relax time.. all the sounds of nature and you can almost smell the fire.. 😁 everyone has their own ways, and that is ok...

@Ladarion johnson Nope, loving God isn't gay and he is married with children, so wrong again..

It's always good to give thanks for what God has given to us.He's very grateful

Its always a good time to start

And JESUS said it doesn't need to be a long drawn out prayer . It's so simple,

I realized I was smiling too. 🙏😊🙏

The 1000+ down votes must have come from the atheists, vegans, and tree huggers.

Patrick D check out Eric Grankvist. It’s so relaxing.

well said

Absolutely perfect life 😂

Same here Ruth. How are you doing with your family I hope you’re safe from the virus?

removing the full stops.. love how you pray before eating a blessed man

@@chrislorenzo7883 there is no virus

@@pkrockin3923 what do you mean?

try and eat all that (wood) lol 3 acres of food is better

@@mrcapitalqbarns5747 try cooking without the 3 acres of wood.

@This Guy You enjoy what God the Creator has given you. The most beautiful sight l ever saw was a star-filled night in the Mohave Desert and that was during AT@ Ft. Irwin CA. Stop the rat race sometimes to "smell the flowers". 😊😊😊😊

@This Guy He cuts firewood

@@johnboddie6826 I'd smell the flowers alright. Lol I'd grow little something somthin and go fishing every day until snow hit then I'd be hunting. I'd guarantee this guy up there, that I'd find more to do in a place like this over any big city in America or world for that matter. The city life is shit...

It's all fun and games until this guy pops out an axe

It's a splitting maul, not an axe.

Thanks.....and to clear up the other comments.....it IS an axe not a maul. And, I keep it very dull. There is no need at all to split with a sharp axe. ( or to keep an axe sharp in order to split wood)

rahsaun77 very efficient he was

I will admit I got a little nervous with him chopping the axe right into his hand

I agree Mr.Hartley!!!

Also when harvesting. A thanks.

Olá boa tarde

Yes! It warmed my heart.This man loves nature and loves God. Thank you for sharing,

Danke, das Tischgebet hat mich sehr bewegt!

Thanks MG

And did you spot how he even more simplified his dish-washing by using a paper plate on top of the regular plate? "Damn that dish washing, I will slimplify it! *throws plate into the fire place * done!" :D

Thanks

@@Bushradical how much did this setup cost you?

Thanks

Thanks

you forgot your category the dumbfuck lol

Blessed indeed. You, I and the entire nation belong to the _bound_ category. It is sad you have not realized it yet.

where was it

I love that you said you wish beyond wishing... I know you are a kind soul, and you raise a good idea: communal camps! A group of folks wanting to slow their roll go and buy land to use as such. Not a new plan, but a damn good one. Like timeshares for the rest of us. All I know is the less I have, the happier I am. This much is true. So it goes...

i am 18 🇵🇭 but can't afford the land to live

Emmanuel Zamora same for me work live with your parents and move out of the place get a old farm distruct every thing live there in a self build house 💪🏻

just a reminder my buddy. Travelling won't fix any personal issues. I say that to you from experience. enjoy life.

Ιlias Theodore Skordas yeah iknow man i know u cant run a way from problems a frend of me has bin in vancouver for a girl it didnt work and he is on the streets now back in holland lost avery thing but bled he came back so good peeps can help him out 😁

@@Zamora7 I'm 53 and can't afford any land either! Best advice I can give you youngsters is to get some good job training, nursing, plumbing, carpentry - if you have a solid trade, you can always find work, unlike many office jobs where you sit at a keyboard everyday until you find out your job has been outsourced. People will always need people to fix the plumbing, build a house, look after them when they get sick. Save your money (NO joint accounts!) and someday you will have enough to buy a bit of land somewhere. Look outside your home country, too. It might be cheaper.

You know it.

Two I have real cheap in northwest Pa if anyone needs

Having no wife IS money at the bank!!

Thanks

You could kind of say the MORE people know the more people think they need really

Very nice.

Ithink not before time we are realizing less is more all you need is food,warmth,and shelter.

@@charleswebster2682 and the internet!

Thanks

A good prayer is good for soul..

Thanks

I need tv at least basic channels y'all. 😹😹

Thanks Carolyn

Girl, us too, and it does get so so much harder. Them cold mornings are so painful on old bones.

Carolyn, Bush, and @@pinkyvdt I know there's no guarantees on caring in this life but, am hoping one day I have children I cared and I teach them to care about me and the little I'd accumulated over the years for them to pick up after me in peace, not in war, and continue living using my things and my path. It's being hard to find a girl able to be willing to live a simple life at my side but, I hope. If not, maybe a generous Tenant or a good friend or neighbor may help me when I can not do it all on my own.

Husband and I.😊

Can I come visit I’m from New York and would to experience that kind of life .

Fenwick I am always in shock wenn my in-laws cut trees and just burn them right there in he garden. What a waist

Yeap, the bacon, the eggs, the bread and the butter just walks in from the outside into your stove !

Better than 401k as it does not disappear over night based on speculation.

Wow. That hits very close to home. I spent a lot of time on the Two Hearted river when I was in High school. Luce county Michigan was my old stomping grounds! Love that story.

Yes I loved that so much. I smiled when he did it. A grateful and thankful man got to love that.

Exactly, that moment made it truly emotional for me! I'm thankful that God has blessed you with such peaceful days in your life! :)

How do any of you know which god he was praying to?

@@ericbarnett6771 Interesting question! Personally I don't know, but for me being thankful is much more important then the exact religion you choose. I believe that there is some form of unity across all the world and indeed we are praying to the same god afterall, we just have different perceptions.

@@ericbarnett6771 we can make a good guess he's praying to the "in the beginning" God, The Father, the All-mighty, maker of heaven and earth and of all things visible and invisible.

DUDE ! I have never read that verse! Thats an amazing verse. Thanks Demarcus!

Bushradical Yes sir! One of my favorite verses in regard to this subject

@@Bushradical There are a bunch of different takes on translations of this verse. Some of them mean that, some don't. It's tough to tell, so let's just go with that! biblehub.com/isaiah/5-8.htm

Too bad you took 1 verse out of an entire chapter so that you could make it reflect the meaning YOU wanted. Cult leaders do that too.

StuntmanMike1978 Too bad you think there are chapters in the Bible! Also, God put Adam and Eve in a garden not a city showing His original plan. He always told His people “Come our from among them & be separate.” He called Abraham from the city to move into a country land. I could go on and on. Believe what you like it doesn’t concern me bc since I am not a cult leader, which by the way 99% of these pastors today are cult leaders no matter the denomination, I don’t get any money for sharing scriptures! I can take Genesis 1:1 & knot that it was God who created everything. I don’t need to quote a whole “chapter” as you seem to think I should to understand that verse. You seem offended I hope you come to learn as the Bible says “11. For who among men understands the things of man except by the spirit of man which is in him? In the same way also, the things of God no one understands except by the Spirit of God. 14. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2 Greek & Hebrew will not give you a true understanding( the Jews spoke these), hermeneutics will not give you understanding & neither will the most famous pastor but only God. Then when God gives understanding you can prove what you believe from Genesis to Revelation with no contradictions.

Keeps it from being bitter

Works for coffee also.

Said the same thing

It's called salt butter tea

Even coffee tastes better .

Dwayne Mondragon only takes a few days in a row to get really good at it. Its harder if you only do it every few months, at least for me. Youll also pick it back up pretty quickly once you have had it down before.
